Reviews:
"...A strain of subtle wit....Friendlier than most..." - 12/12/1986 New York Times, p.C19


"...Moments of brilliant humor....[The scenes] shine with all the inventiveness these comedians can muster..." - 12/10/1986 Variety


"...Incredibly, outrageously and breathtakingly silly....A goofy delight..." - 12/12/1986 Los Angeles Times, p.C8


"Landis's film is gleeful in its artificiality, from the amigos' garish caballero costuming to the painted sunset backdrop of their Randy Newman-penned musical number..." - 11/01/2011 Film Comment


"Martin’s script -- co-written with SNL producer Lorne Michaels and songwriter Randy Newman -- is full of inspired bits of comic business..." -- Grade: B - 12/14/2011 A.V. Club
